Nicotinic Acid (Niacin)

Just letting you all know that I’ve had success with Nicotinic Acid (Niacin) combating my brain fog.

I take it directly after eating in order keep from having such a bad “flush” effect from the niacin.

I take 200mg in the morning directly after breakfast and then I take 100mg with snack early morning and 100mg with lunch.

…seems to help. I started taking it for my cholesterol and realized it helped with my brain fog. Then I read about how B vitamins help with stressors.

Another option is taking something like NADH which I will be trying soon. It’s a special form of niacin that has been shown to boost dopamine among other things.

Tried this multiple times with no result…

Doesn’t vitex lower DHT?

Sounds to good to be true. Almost magical. Too bad it’s not a reality.

You really need to post a source if you make a statement like this, if you want people to take what you’re saying seriously.

Posting Google search results is USELESS and completely unscientific.

Nearly all those sites are selling supplements (biased content) or are opinion pieces.

Post links to actual scientific studies from peer reviewed journals, or don’t bother posting at all.

Another useless and unsubstantiated claim by this poster. How is it that you can say that with a straight face.

As far as studies about propecia, there is TON of studies in the stickies section. Maybe you should do some reading. Really.

Typical, like a child… when asked to provide proof you retort back and put the onus on the asker to provide evidence for some unrelated claim.

If you don’t think there’s a problem here, then you don’t belong here. I’ve had enough of this disruption and nonsense pseudoscience based on Google search web links, and the fact you think Vitex is the cure-all for everyone here.

Newsflash: we’ve already researched the herb, I gave you links to the studies previously ( grande.nal.usda.gov/ibids/index. … erow=46028 ), and you still continue to make claims without any science to back it up.

While you have brought some interesting thoughts to the forum, the manner in which you discuss these items is simply counter-productive and argumentative, wasting people’s time. Had enough of this crap, people have better things to do than argue over Vitex, we’ve got bigger things to deal with and think about.

Anyway, time for you to take a break from this site in the meantime, and concentrate on the Accutane forums.

Longtime lurker, first time poster. I’ve read a lot of good information here from some people. I’m a little unimpressed with the site leadership though. On a lot of the threads i’ve read, cdnuts seems to create problems, especially with the natural guy. For example, in this and the xyrem/ghb thread, it was cdnuts who brought up the vitex, making negative, inflammatory, false comments about what natural had actually said, and he also questioned natural about vitex in the other thread. natural responded to this ass, and natural gets banned. if anybody should have been banned, its cdnuts for starting things. wtf?
and i think natural has a point about scientific studies also. we all know propecia harms people, but i’ve searched the web and can’t find any scientific studies stating this. i actually use vitex myself, and i’ve found it helps me.
its too bad poor leadership has lead to an informative poster being banned.

Dude, look at the section entitled “Finasteride Studies”. It has dozens of of scientific articles which demonstrate the negative impact of finasteride in both humans and animals.

Banned again for coming back under another alias. Go find something better to do with your time.

Attempts to slander the Admin for “poor leadership” that tries to protect the forum from people like you, who have nothing better to do than insult others, troll and try and start flame wars, is quite simply laughable.

If you don’t like the site, don’t visit – problem solved. Need I remind you about the conditions you agreed to by registering on this forum, which is a free service paid for by someone else so you can even use it in the first place: the mods reserve the right to remove posts and users at any time should they deem it necessary to do so.

In your case, your disruptive behaviour has necessitated such actions.

Nobody is interested in your petty attempts to start a flame war, least of all someone like you who swears at other members who requested you provide some background on yourself when you first joined:

Anyway, if people want to try Vitex, they will, case closed. In the meantime, we recommend you stick to Accutane forums at this stage. Wish you well.
